So I might be a dog person not a cat person, but I'm very much a rescue pet person.

Thank you for using the accurate "Quite a few" rather than making a universal claim :).

Reverential, dramatic, *and whimsical*. The perfect Dr Who episode.

That's such a difficult stage in life - we went through it with my in-laws a couple of years ago.
Give yourself a free pass if you have to let other responsibilities go for a bit. If you can...

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone else use “nibling”!
I learned it a year or two ago when working out language for non-binary and gender fluid youth and their families 😃

Agree - unless the phrase is being used personally by a victim.
In which case I apply the 'I don't get to tell victims how to talk about their experience' rule.

Worth noting that this varies country by country. The salvation army in Australia have reformed their approach to LGBTIQA+ people and acknowledged past failings. They have the 'rainbow tick' over here. They've been quite publicly involved in some of the pride marches in the past few years

Has DT ever done anything that wasn't going to result in a benefit to him?
I think (ok, hope) a lot of people expecting pardons will get a nasty shock when they are no longer of any use to him. Just like so many contractors in his past.

Wouldn't be the first time...
I love it when I'm speaking and someone is knitting, a group doing a jigsaw, some doing coloring in, some playing on their phones....
For some, it's how they listen. For others, they need to just tune out for a while.

Wish you lived in Sydney and could come to our Church 😊. We have a basket of toys (mostly fidget toys) for anyone to pick up, and there's normally a jigsaw table at the back of the Church during our services...
About half those there are queer, neurodivergent, or both. Including the ADHD minister 🙂

Desperate for a silver lining... will this require the representatives to come back for a vote?
And will that get a vote on the Epstein files over the line?

When my youngest was that age, I ran a playgroup.
